View Full Version : Back to racing
Well it's fianlly here!!! We are back to raing after a 8 week lay off. The BSB boys, stock and 125's have carried on at both Knockhill and a second meeting at Oulton Park. Now the Triumph Triple's are back. Friday will be testing on the INDY curcit and Saturday and Sunday on GP.
After talking to Danny Buchan last night he is very excieted about getting back on board a bike after breaking two vertibrae riding a motorcross bike. Instead of being on a stock 1000 team boss of MSS Bathams Kawasaki Nick Morgan has given him the oppertunity to ride the BSB bike for the reast of the season after Peter Hickman was sacked by the team. Tommy Hill championship leader is back after testing in Japan for the Suzuka 8 hour race.
Again for a second year the closest racing last years was Ben Wilson and Alistar Sealey, this year sees Billy McConnell, Glen Richards and Jack Kennedy leading the race for the title.
125's are having a strange season. Mainly due to the Red Bull rookies of Brad Rey, Klye Ryde and Jordan Weaving missing from some of the races. Showing Kyle Ryde dosnt have it all his own way on the new 4 stroke 250 rather than all others on the 2 strokes. Think someone else will be there this weekend on a 4 stroke but cant remeber who is riding it.
For all those who are coming this weekend please pop along to see RG Racing for a cuppa tea and cheer on Rob Guiver in the Triple challenge. Our race is off about 10 past 12 on Sunday.

he got pushed back a bit on the first lap but made his way up.
Is he racing on the indy circuit at the end of the bsb season as i might go down on saturday and walk about a bit more and get some better photo's.

Would have got the first place if it wasnt for Connor high siding on the final lap.
GP circuit end of the season. Looks like it might go all the way. Now just cant wait to get to Cadwell on the bank holiday weekend now.
well after the last round at Brands Hatch all points in the TTC have now been halfed. So we had a 54.5 point lead that is now down to 27.75. Now with a few weeks until Cadwell Park taking place on the August bank holiday weekend we have plenty of time to get the bike sorted out ready for getting a bigger gap in the TTC.
If anyone is coming to Cadwell then please pop over and say hello to us and grab a cup of tea. All welcome and more support for Rob the better.
I'm the fat bloke in the back ground when Robs being interviewed. Also they missed me on the grid prior to race one on Friday afternoon.

With just two rounds of the TTC to go we have a nice healthy lead in the championship. We could see the 2012 champion being crowned by Saturday afternoon. Rob has a 66 point lead from new comer from South Africa James Eagan who is 20 points ahead of fellow South African Phil Atkinson. With Phil out of the equasion this leaves James on the only man to be able to catch Rob with 100 points still in the pot.
As I sit at my desk writing this I almost feel like we can grab hold of the trouphy already. But, we all know things can go wrong. Just a small error can put any of the riders out of the championship for one or even both rounds.
This will be a first as I'm riding up to Silverstone this week getting everything ready for a weekend of racing.
You can catch up with Rob and the team at Silverstone pop over and have a chat and a cup of tea. Were always about and have time for those who want to talk bikes.

Should be a great weekend for you guys as its all sorted watch the bsb lot and have some fun out on track too.
Yep we race on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday we are off about 10 past 12. Pop in for a cuppa tea and warm your self up while we are all sober. End of season party get under way about 2pm for us lot. Should still be going at 2am!!!!! Going to be great weekend for us all.
After all my hard work this season I've got myself one of Rob's trophies to keep. Will look after this for quite a few years I think.
Anyway only another 168 days to go to the new season. Even better a week in sunny Spain for testing coming up in February.

Rob's got a ride in Super Sport on board the new Daytona. Not sure if I'll be there to help him or not. But I've got a job working for someone else in stock 1000's so will still be in the paddock. Wait for a couple of other things to come in too.
